They'll have to make a decision soon as the light will begin fading soon. They still believe they can get some racing in, although the weather radar shows a big rain cloud over the track, and it isn't budging anytime soon. The FIA have now stopped the three-hour race clock at 17:00 CEST citing "force majeure" under the International Sporting Code. This has been the most confusing non-race, race for a long time. Meanwhile Mick Schumacher and Sebastian Vettel are embroiled in a game of football in the back of the Haas garage, something that should be on the start/finish straight to give these patient fans something to watch.

We were due a weather update at 17:45 CEST, but that's also been delayed. Fingers crossed for a miracle though! 17:50 CEST: Delayed weather update We'd love to be optimistic of a race but it just doesn't look likely with the weather as it is. The FIA have been pushing back weather updates for 20 minutes now but the radar suggests no break in the rain which has been falling for a good five to six hours now. Astonishing really but the sweepers have been hard at work all round the track and we're going to give it a go. Unbelievably, the FIA have announced the race will resume at 18:17 CEST. In case you'd forgotten, it's Max Verstappen leading from George Russell and Lewis Hamilton at the front, while Sergio Perez joins the train of cars at the back after crashing his Red Bull on the way to the original grid, which feels like seven months ago! 18:10 CEST: WE'RE GOING RACING! Over three hours since the scheduled race start, lap one begins wth Bernd Maylander leading the field out in the safety car. It's a real blanket of spray at the end of the Kemmel straight, and that's only at safety car speed.

We're having a one-hour timed race rather than a lap count but it will be only half points for this one, if we get a race at all because the spray looks even worse than before from the TV cameras. 55 Minutes to go: It's still extremely wet The red flag is out again and everyone is headed back to pit lane for the second time today. We now have an official Grand Prix as they've survived two laps of a treacherous Spa-Francorchamps, but that's all we will get. But half points are technically in play here, which would give George Russell a huge nine points which takes him above teammate Nicholas Latifi in the standings - who himself is claiming one point in ninth as it stands. The cars aren't able to run at such a slow speed and low temperatures for too long and that will have played a part in this red flag, along with the drivers' opinions on conditions. The talk all around the paddock was that a race wasn't going to be possible in these conditions, and they seem to be right. George Russell earns his first podium in F1 in second with Hamilton third.
But that does mean that Max Verstappen wins the Belgian Grand Prix to close the gap to Lewis Hamilton in the championship. That'll be all from us this time, let's hope we can get some racing at Zandvoort next week! 19:00 CEST: The Drivers' Championship StandingsĪnd there we have it, the message has appeared and we will not see any more "racing" today. 19:05 CEST: Verstappen wins the grand prix and F1 results todayĭespite not a single racing lap, that was perhaps the most exhausting Grand Prix in a long time. Below, we'll have all the build-up to the race and then lap-by-lap updates once the lights go out. This is the start of our live blog for the Belgian Grand Prix.
